This shop was recommended to me by a coworker. I was complaining about my old shoes and she said that this store will take time to get you into a pair of shoes that feels right for you... I was so delighted. What my coworker did not mention is that healthcare workers get a 10% discount! Which is great when I need to spend money on shoes anyway! She did not tell me about the scan. There is a foot scan that showed/told me about my feet. Uhhmmmm, my left foot is smaller than, my right---I have limited instep and I have pronation. Yea, AND, they can order shoes in different colored! Did I mention that you get a FREE t-shirt when you buy a pair of shoes! I will definitely be back (especially since they ordered me another pair of these---they said it would be in in about a week and that they would call me. Yay! This experience exceeded my expectations!

After discussing my issues with them and trying on a couple pairs of shoes, it turns out my previous shoes were too small. Strange thing considering my age, but at some point my feel got bigger by a couple sizes. Problem solved. Once we figured out the size issue, we discussed my running/walking and then the real fun began! I tried on 5 or 6 pairs of shoes and was able to find some that feel great. I have a number of miles on them and am very satisfied. They even gave me a free shirt to go with my new shoes. Knowing what I know now, I could buy my next pair of shoes online but I will buy from Varsity again to support the great service I have gotten.

Third Coast Soccer is a great place to buy anything that you could possibly need relating to the…read moresport of soccer. I signed up one of my kids to play soccer this year and figured I knew exactly what she would need. After all, I had played soccer growing up and figured not much had changed since then. Boy was I wrong. When signing up, I was directed to this store by the league as this was the place that sold the jerseys. When I walked inside I realized that today's soccer stuff was way different from when I played. The employees in the store were very helpful and had me outfitted with jerseys, shorts and socks in about two minutes flat. They also helped me understand what specific ball we needed, why the jerseys had no numbers, and the cleats that were appropriate for this age group. Even with all of this, I was in and out in under 15 minutes. There is no way I could have had a comparable experience at one of the giant chain stores, plus the prices were very reasonable. If you find yourself in need of soccer gear, I highly recommend you visit Third Coast.

Now that this location is open, I wont have to drive to Slidell anymore just for a sporting goods store. I visited most recently to look for a specific Christmas gift. They did not have any on display so rather than buy the more expensive one, I asked one of the employees. This guy was great. He not only checked for me, be went to the back, got one and even brought it to my car. He went way above and beyond to help and was friendly the whole time. Even though the store was packed, they were well staffed and had all the registers going. While standing around I had at least four different employees ask if I needed help. Thanks Academy. This store is great. * the reason the type of gift isn't listed is because the person who the gift is for could read this review. I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise.

Adventure Locators is a special place…read more When I was 10 I went on a trip with my Uncle and Cousins so that they could do their certification check-out dives in Destin. It seemed like the coolest thing I had ever heard of and I always wanted to get certified myself. It may have taken me a long time but I am happy to report that I am officially a certified diver. Adventure Locators is where I took my certification training and I could not be happier with their instruction, the staff, and their prices. On my first trip here to sign up for training, I met Jerry who I later learned would be my head instructor. He is patient, informative, and passionate about diving. I knew nearly nothing about diving (other than it involves water) before starting the SSI course here. Jerry was able to teach and explain the concepts where they were easy to understand. When I had questions, and boy did I have questions, he took the time to thoroughly explain what I was asking. During my pool time, and more importantly during open water dives, he made sure I performed the necessary skills, but he also made sure I was safe. I felt completely at ease despite being submerged 30 feet under the springs in Florida. He is really a great instructor and also a great cook (they fed us well on the dive trip). On my next trip to the shop for the classroom portion of training, I met Dawn, the owner of the shop. She too is awesome. In addition to being super knowledgeable and passionate about diving, she is kind and patient with new students. She also has a really badass vehicle but I digress. There is so much more that I could say about this shop but it would take me all day to write this review. One thing I do want to mention is their prices on gear and service. Their prices are very competitive and buying stuff from them supports local business owners. They offer several discounted prices on sets of gear you need and can order almost anything. In addition to my mask, fins, and snorkel, I got a super cool branded head strap for my mask. You will know it's mine if you see it because it is hot pink. I figure I will be easy to spot and sharks won't eat me if they know I am tough enough to wear pink. If you need dive equipment, or you need to get certified or learn advanced skills, head on over to Adventure Locators. They are the best.

William and Emily ( my families instructors) were beyond patient with my kids and I as they helped us master all the skills required for certification. They gave us as many opportunities as we needed to feel confident at performing each skill! I always knew I was safe, and that they would help me improve in the areas I struggled with. We did a certification weekend at Vortex Spring Florida, which was truly fantastic! I felt like I was being welcomed into a community of people with a common passion and a desire to see new people join them. There were families, 20-30 year olds, and seasoned divers and everyone just became instant friends. If you're thinking about getting certified this is definitely the right shop to use!
